Brief summary

The aim of the study is to evaluate the beneficial effects of the administration of a complete diet rich in monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFA) and slow absorption carbohydrate in patients with stress hyperglycemia(T-Diet Plus Diabet IR). The main objective of this project is to evaluate blood glucose metabolic control, insulin requirements, insulin action resistance, lipid profile and to reduce infectious complications on mechanical ventilation ICU (intensive care unit) patients after the administration of a complete diet enriched in MUFA and slow absorption carbohydrates, without fructose.

Detailed description

Enteral formula administration designed for critically ill patients in metabolic stress situations, hyperglycemia and insulin resistance, formulated with monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFA), slowly absorption carbohydrates, omega-3 series polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA)enriched in eicosapentanoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), should be associated with an improvement in metabolic control, based on glucose levels reduction, and a decrease of insulin resistance infectious complications , mechanical ventilation days, ICU and hospital stay. All this against other two high protein conventional specific diets for hyperglycaemia patients.

Recruitment details

This study examines whether a high-protein diabetes-specific formula reduces insulin needs, improves glycemic control and reduces ICU-adquired infection in critically ill, hyperglycemic patients on mechanical ventilation (MV)

Pre-assignment details

The study was performed over the period April 2010 to May 2012. A website was constructed to record data and to randoize patients to each EN formula. Data were collected online using an electronic case report form.
